Left Lane Is for Passing Only - Driving T Shirt
- Vendor
- WitMonger - Printed & Shipped From USA
Mile marker 212, 6:10 on a Friday. A silver sedan has held 61 in the fast lane for eleven miles with the right lane wide open, and a line of cars has stacked up behind it, blinkers on, going nowhere. The driver is relaxed. The driver is listening to a podcast about productivity. Most states have a keep-right law on the books, and every highway still has this car. A funny driving shirt for anyone who has flashed their headlights at a stranger and been ignored. Nobody moved over. The podcast is still on.
THE FINE PRINT
THE LEFT LANE IS on top, FOR PASSING ONLY below, in cracked white capitals. Between two green lines sit two top-down road panels: a green check over an empty left lane, two cars keeping right; a red X over four cars nose to tail in the left lane, one car on the right. A small sign-off closes it.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Is it illegal to drive in the left lane?
In most U.S. states, camping in the left lane of a multi-lane highway when you are not passing can get you a ticket, though the wording varies: some states limit that lane to passing, others only require slower traffic to keep right. Check your state's keep-right law. Then move over for the line of cars behind you.
Why is passing on the right dangerous?
The driver being passed is not expecting it: the passenger side has the bigger blind spot, and a car drifting toward an exit can move straight into you. That is why many states allow it only on multi-lane roads. It mostly happens because someone parked in the fast lane and left the slow one as the only way through.
How to deal with slow drivers?
Leave space, do not tailgate, and pass when it is legal and clear. Honking and riding a bumper make a crash more likely and change nothing. The sedan doing 61 in the fast lane has not checked its mirror since the on-ramp.
